More About Disbursement

What does听诲颈蝉产耻谤蝉别尘别苍迟听mean?

Disbursement is the act of paying out money, or the payment itself.

Because the meaning of disbursement focuses on money and payment, the word is almost exclusively used in financial and business spheres鈥攅specially when the exchange of money is formal.

Example: The disbursement of paychecks was delayed due to a clerical error, causing much grumbling among the staff.

Where does听disbursement come from?

Disbursement first appears in English around 1600. Its root word disburse is slightly older, first recorded around the 1530s, and comes from combining des (meaning 鈥渁part鈥) and bourse (meaning 鈥減urse鈥濃攁 bag used to carry money).

The modern financial use of disbursement often means something quite specific鈥攑ayment from a particular fund or account, often in the context of a business, charity, scholarship, or other formalized type of payment. If the thing being given out or provided is not financial or money-related (like food, for example), you probably want to use distribution, not disbursement.
